April 07, 2023 The Dark Side of Maternal Instinct
Welcome to the latest episode of our true crime podcast, where we dive deep into the twisted world of Munchausen by proxy, a rare and horrifying form of child abuse. In this episode, we explore some of the most notorious cases of Munchausen by proxy involving mothers who deliberately make their children sick in order to gain attention and sympathy.
We start with the infamous case of Dee Dee Blanchard, whose manipulation of medical professionals and community led to her daughter Gypsy Rose orchestrating her murder. We then delve into the disturbing story of Lacey Spears, who was convicted of killing her 5-year-old son by poisoning him with salt through his feeding tube. We also cover the chilling case of Kathy Bush, who was found guilty of repeatedly poisoning her son with salt until he died.
These cases are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Munchausen by proxy, a disorder that is estimated to affect thousands of children each year. We explore the complex psychological issues that underlie this disorder, as well as the challenges of identifying and stopping it before it's too late.
Join us as we uncover the dark world of Munchausen by proxy and shed light on this disturbing form of child abuse.
